Facebook may make $2B in profits this year. So I think they could come up with this cash. Also, they can give some of this amount in stock.

Besides paying partly in stock, they can also borrow cash.

In profit? Source? (Not saying you're wrong - I just didn't know and would like to read about it)

To be more precise, it's $2B in EBITDA, not net profit.
